“I recall the first conversation that I had with Patti: her natural curiosity, intelligence, and positive approach made me feel comfortable and ready to collaborate right away. After talking with other folks, I gathered that this "instant ease" was a common reaction to working with her. She's fast to collaborate and sets a nice model for how executives from one team can partner naturally with those from other teams. She was also fast to make a cultural impact on the org; specifically in the areas of equity for others and leadership training (mentoring). On top of that, she knows marketing, can teach it and puts leads on the table. ”
